Living with HIV
Effective treatments for HIV mean that most people are able to live a long and healthy life. You’re not alone. There are services in Cork that are here to help, as well as a community of people living with HIV who are ready to share their experiences.
Tools for HIV Prevention
PrEP (Pre Exposure Prophylaxis)
PrEP is a daily dose of medication which reduces the risk of getting HIV.
PEP (Post Exposure Prophylaxis)
PEP is a course of antiretroviral medication which can prevent HIV infection after a potential exposure to HIV. PEP needs to be started within 72 hours of a potential exposure to HIV. It is taken once or twice daily for 28 days.
U=U
It is important to remember that if you have HIV, are on effective treatment, and your viral load is undetectable you won’t pass along HIV to a sexual partner.
The Sexual Health Centre aims to raise public awareness about the U=U (Undetectable=Untransmittable) message which highlights this fact.
